By Rob Starr, Content Manager, Big4.com
Accenture has won a new five-year contract with Unilever to provide human resources (HR) business process outsourcing (BPO) services.
The scope of the contract includes recruitment, reward and core HR administration, and learning services covering content sourcing and development, program planning and delivery, learning system hosting, payroll administration, and management and administrative services.
Additionally, Accenture will introduce a more proactive recruiting approach, including the expanded use of social media. Proactive sourcing tools will support more effective, forecasting-led recruiting methods and will result in a broader, more appropriate candidate pool for Unilever.
Teo Correia, a senior managing director in Accenture’s Consumer Goods & Services practice who leads Accenture’s work with Unilever comments:
“This contract renewal represents a new milestone in Accenture’s 10-year collaboration with Unilever, and is testament to the work that we have delivered,”he said . “Unilever strives continually to find new ways of improving its HR function to enhance the skills and abilities of its global workforce, and this contract is key to achieving future success and higher performance. We look forward to helping Unilever achieve its goals.”
Accenture will deliver the services through its Global Delivery Network, using multiple centers across the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
